"Survival helps tribal peoples to defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures. Founded in 1969 in response to the secret genocide of Amazonian Indians, Survival is the only international organization supporting tribal peoples worldwide. We do not accept funding from any national government. Today, Survival has supporters in 82 countries. We work for tribal peoples’ rights in three complementary ways: education, advocacy and campaigns. We also offer tribal people themselves a platform to address the world. We work closely with local indigenous organizations, and focus on tribal peoples who have the most to lose, usually those most recently in contact with the outside world. We believe that public opinion is the most effective force for change. Its power will make it harder, and eventually impossible, for governments and companies to oppress tribal peoples.
